What Fiction are you reading this week, February 2, 2020? [View all]


Happy February. Today marks the approximate midway point between the winter solstice and the vernal equinox.

I’m still reading The Revised Fundamentals of Caregiving. Wow, what a picture of despair in a sad land. It is a great book and there are amusing moments but it’s so heartbreaking at times. That good old American Dream thing doesn’t always work out. I’m having to intersperse it with the hilarious Twelve Sharp by Janet Evanovich. It’s a good balance. And they share a plot device: who is that strange person following me?

Just started listening to The Ballad of Frankie Silver by Sharyn McCrumb so no opinions yet. Considering the author, though, I’m sure it’s going to be excellent.

I predict most of you will also be reading something excellent this week.
